@koleszar
You good with water for animals?
You're near my parents and they have a generator if things get bad. I'd have some explaining to do, but they know I'm crazy when it comes to animals. Lol

now starting to close in on 3 inches here....thats maybe about 1.75 inches an hour here the past hour..wow

 

[RUPete]

Im in New Providence...coming down pretty good here...

You’re north of the 78 and Watchung Mountains, but we are sort of in that same zone.

 

[WhiteBus]

Ok thanks but your being a party pooper now .

Actually the opposite. Take @Postman_1 advice and start stashing beers along your driveway. Enjoy the snow removal tomorrow 🍻

I will be shoveling tonight a few times . Almost 4 inches already . My family and I live 5 minutes south of Sussex county . I have no desire to shovel over 1 foot of snow tomorrow !

He is way off with that snow total map! We are not getting 6-12 in Philly. We are now getting a rain sleet mix.

 

[bac2therac]

now caught in subsidence....heavy band that went through and what looks like a mega death band near Trenton

Coming down hard now, you go over one area with snow blower come back 20 mins later and there is almost another inch taken its place.

Part of why I'm glad I moved down the shore and out of NP.

 

[bac2therac]

sleet being reported in Lambertville... 👀

 

[WhiteBus]

3 here in South Philly. CBS and NBC have closer to 4. They are in Center City and Bala Cynwyd.
CBS only expanded the snow line into the river counties to 3-6.
That dry slot is approaching too.

How are things looking now? Looks very light outside. Daughter off from school tomorrow. Snow Day! :)

 

[bac2therac]

I guess you guys got alot in one shot, looked really bad and then that was it.

 

[Rutgers Chris]

Correct. Sounds like thunder storm level rain hitting the windows

yeah it snowed like crazy for an hour but lightened up because we between banding, a big heavy band soon to come through by around 8 so we could double our 3 inches by 930!

 

[RU5781]

Made it out of Philly. Of course, the bathroom had an issue, and my flight was delayed almost 3 hours. I land soon at O’Hare and I have about 4 min to make my connecting flight. Gotta love it!

 

[bac2therac]

uh oh PINGERS already in Belle Mead...wtf

 

[Doteman]

It's raging in Piscataway now. Went to store for couple items. Was nice to see the Christmas lights in these conditions.

 

[Jersey Boys]

Coming down pretty heavy here in Westfield. Measured 4 inches already.

Enough time to grab a pint at airport bar and catch your connection. 🍺

Just got in from a "Jebwalk" (long story, don't have time - it's poker night!) with my wife, our son and his girlfriend. As of 6 pm we have 2.25" OTG (was only about 1" at 5 pm, so it's coming down) and it's 25/23F. Heavy snow right now with 1/4 mile visibiilty. Gorgeous out there - don't forget to get out in this stuff - snow angel time soon, lol.

As of 7 pm, we have 3.75" OTG which is 1.5" the last hour - that's pretty heavy snow. Pounding here now. Still 25F. Very heavy band on our doorstep.

 

[Postman_1]

Just went for a nice walk around the neighborhood. Sleet mixing in with snow in Hamilton. Shoveled a lil when I got back and ten min after I shoveled a area it was covered again. Very windy out too

 

[goru1869]

Approaching 5 inches in Mount Olive. Someone rode by on an ATV 1/2 hour ago and the tracks are already gone . OH JOY .

Remember, Numbers predicted at least 10 inches for our area, so I hope we end up on the bust side of that amount! 😜

Change over time! :)

we have 3.5 now but its an icy mixture so lets see what happens. After mixing and dry slot issues there is potential for another slug of snow around 4-7 AM but thats no certainty

 

[RocktheRac]

Went out in Hillsborough to clear my truck and felt some pinging at 7:30. About 3 inches here. Just got a email from the Hillsborough Deli. They are closing early and will reopen at 5:30am.

 

[ClassOf02]

sleet being reported in Lambertville... 👀

Can confirm.

 

[bac2therac]

snow/sleet line

one toward the shore, the other in western central jersey

 

[tom1944]

More snow than I expected in Jackson but they are still calling for rain by 9 or 10

By this time the trial runs on storm prep for the farm have been plenty, they just suck. I can't tell you how many 55 gal. drums of water I've filled and dumped out over the past 7 yrs.. As far as generators, I own my own Masonry Company, we've got a variety of generators and fuel storage in the Machine shop. But thank you for your generous offers and concern it's much appreciated. Now if I could just get the dogs to come inside.

 

[Scarlet dollar]

In Monroe I have 4 or 5 inches and coming down like an SOB. Surprised that we have snow while Lambertville and Montgomery have sleet. We are usually a couple of degrees warmer here and often get rain while you get snow.

 

[RocktheRac]

Back to snow in the Boro.

Does Sweet Pea enjoy the snow?
